American Buffalo Summary Two-time Academy AwardÂ(r) Winner* Dustin Hoffman And Two-time Emmy Winner Dennis Franz ("nypd Blue") Deliver Tour-de-force Performances As Volatile Small-time Hustlers In This Edgy, Electrifying Story Of Trust, Betrayal And Loyalty Gone Dangerously Awry. American Buffalo Is A Riveting Study In Human Virtue And Vulnerability From Pulitzer Prize-winning Writer David Mamet (wag The Dog, The Edge, The Untouchables) And Director Michael Corrente. For Down-and-out Junk Dealer Don (franz), Life Goes From Unlucky To Unbearable When He Discovers That The Rare, Buffalo Head Nickel He Just Sold For $90 Is Worth Ten Times As Much! Refusing To Let Himself Beout-swindled, Don Enlists The Help Of A Young ProtÃ(c)gÃ(c) (sean Nelson) In A Scheme To Steal The Coin Back. But Their Plans Are Suddenly Altered By The Intrusion Of Teach (hoffman), A Disturbingly Aggressive Would-be Thief Who Badgers Don Into Cutting Him In On The Heista Decision That Carries Explosive Consequences For Everyone Involved. *1988: Actor, Rain Man; 1979: Actor, Kramer Vs. Kramer

David Mamet's hit play from the 1970s has made it to the screen with its grim humor intact. The story of a robbery that never actually happens, the three-character drama focuses on a set of small-timers looking for a big score: Donny (Dennis Franz), who runs a junk shop; his jittery young assistant, Bobby (Sean Nelson); and Teach (Dustin Hoffman), a card-playing pal of Donny's with a nose for a shifty deal. Donny has accidentally sold a rare buffalo-head nickel to a customer not realizing what it's worth, and so he and Bobby are planning to steal it back--and Teach wants a piece of the job. Mamet's trademark testosterone-fueled jabber is less about crime than about the ways men talk to--and at--each other. Hoffman is grungily appealing as a guy who always goes a step too far, while Franz brings a quiet power to his role as a man who always knows more than he says. --Marshall Fine
